    Oil Hits $82 a barrel

    I thought I read, maybe even on this board somewhere, that part of the reason why oil is going up is because they are cutting production purposely to inflate prices?

    Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize?

    Man, this is ridiculous. Dogs running in circles, people screaming, children crying and I turn on the news to find out why. Obama won the Peace prize, for what? What the hell has he done to deserve any type of award? Next thing you know Britney Spears will be allowed into Mensa. I thought...

    PBS Newshour story on living off the grid

    Anyone heard of the word allodial? Look it up. It basically means owning something completely free and clear. Can anyone think of anything that is allodial property? That you own without owing taxes, a mortgage, rent, etc. on that the government won't sieze if you owe them money?

    Is It Wrong To Strip Everything From Your House In Revenge Against Your Bank?

    Sorry but I don't think two wrongs make a right here. Banks are evil we all know that. But who's fault is it really when you KNOW bank are evil, money grubbing bastards and you KNOW they gave you a crappy mortgage on a house you couldn't afford anyways? That lady on the video even said that...

    Cops Taze Teen on bike from car - Runs Teen Over Killing him

    I thought cops were supposed to use Tazers to subdue people that were being PHYSICAL with officers (like waving a knife around). Who in the hell is telling officers that tazers can be used just to shut people up or keep them from fleeing? Sounds like these officers are lazy bastards and...

    Gary Johnson Announcement?

    I live in Albuquerque and have my whole life. I wasn't into politics at all when Gary Johnson was in office, but everyone knew that he was different from the other politicians and would stand up for things he believed in, even if it could cost him his career. And since I was hanging out with...

    Fighting Fat by Taxing Soft Drinks

    I'd much prefer the what we saw in Wall-e where we are SOOOO fat we can't walk and use floating motorized chairs to take us everywhere while we slurp ALL of our food out of a straw. Did you see the commercial for the soda tax? I thought it was really well done. What amounts to pennies for...

    Solar panels

    I was looking into this myself. Been dying to buy this kit and try it out. I know it's not going to get me completely off the grid or anything, but my electricity bill keeps going up, even when I make a point to unplug/turn things off. Anything would be a good start at this point. And I live...

    ACORN Scandal is a Manufactured Diversion

    If it was truly meant as a diversion, wouldn't all the MSM be covering it? Wouldn't really have much effect if they didn't....

    Health Insurance Denials

    I feel you. I had a kidney stone about 3 weeks ago. Never had one before, but I saw my grandmother experience one when I was about 8 years old. I pretty much knew what it was going to the ER, probably wouldn't even had gone if I didn't have a high chance of ectopic pregnancy and wasn't in so...

    Debtor's Revolt Begins

    While I totally agree with what this woman had to say about the banks themselves (greedy, selfish bastards), I don't agree with continuing to support them by racking up debt. She wouldn't be in this position if she paid off the card, only charge what she can afford, or just use it for...

    The Colony

    I really enjoy watching the show. Made my boyfriend and I realize that we should study up on mechanics and engineering a little in case the apocalypse ever does happen. I can build a mean computer, but that won't help much during the apocalypse. I'm just a nerd that loves to watch people...

    Solar: Cheapest $/Watt

    How about a whole solar kit? Been keeping my eye on this one for awhile and I'm dying to buy it. Looks like it comes with everything you need to get started, except some batteries of course. I think it will be a great starter kit for me...
